Bridgetown (Barbados), June 28: Rains have chased teams throughout the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. A few matches have been washed out as well.
Some matches have been truncated and teams have shared points as well. Even both the semifinals had rain impacts. The second semifinal between India and England had long rain interruptions and delayed start.
But what if the rain reach Barbados and interrupt the much awaited summit clash between Indian and South Africa on Saturday?
Well, the weather update reveals that rain is set to play a massive spoilsport in the final at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados too.
As per Met updates, a tropical storm is expected to affect the island and there is a high chance of rainfall throughout the day on Saturday (June 29) in Barbados. However, the weather prediction is expected to change as we nears the match day as it happens throughout the tournament.
But there is provision of a reserve day for the World Cup Final. The reserve day for this edition of the T20 World Cup is June 30.
But if no play is possible even on the reserve day, then both India and South Africa would be declared joint winners, revealed informed sources.
Both the teams India and South Africa have not lost a match in tournament. The final if played is expected to be a very intense and well contested battle between two formidable forces of world cricket.
Though both sides appear to be very well balanced, but India may weigh bit more with their experience of playing ICC World Cup finals.
If India lift the trophy, it would be their second ICC T20 World Cup title and the fourth World Cup final win. Because India have easier lifted the 1983 ODI World Cup, 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup.
But if the Proteas win the World Cup final, it would be their first ever World Cup title.
